Higher Education Institutions have been working on increasinginternationalization during the last years knowing that it improves our students’ ability to facefuture challenges.This internationalization has different phases. Deardorff et al. (2018) propose 6 phases. Phase 1:Study abroad programs with a transformative effect. Phase 2: International student recruitment:the bigger number of international students in the institution, the richer and more diverseatmosphere is. Phase 3: Coordination and Collaboration creating a centralized office. Phase 4:Building Community launching activities to strengthen links like an international day ororganizing receptions at the beginning and end of the academic year. Phase 5: Curriculumdevelopment

These competencies are (1) adapting socially, (2) demonstrating creativity, (3) evendisposition, (4) respecting beliefs, (5) instilling trust, and (6) navigating ambiguity. Internationalleadership managing international assignments seldom fail because of a lack of technical orprofessional competence but rather fail to build cultural awareness necessary for understandingdifferent cultures. Caligiuri and Tarique [15] identified lack of understanding of other cultures asa factor affecting the ability of leaders to lead across cultures and transfer foreign leadershipknowledge easily.

Each year over 140 Scholarsare engaged in a mentored research experience with a CUNY faculty member1.It is well documented the importance and benefits of STEM students having some type ofinternational experience2, 3. Additionally, higher education is moving forward with embracing theconcept of educating engineers as a global citizen4. Therefore in 2008 an approach wasimplemented to allow LSAMP scholars to integrate an International Experience into theirundergraduate studies. The multi-pronged approach consists of, 1) collaborating with existingprograms within the NSF

of programs and experiences that are offered to engineering students include studyabroad, globally-oriented class experiences, global projects, international internships, andinternational research experiences3,4. Study abroad experiences are often accomplished throughshort- or long-term sojourns, or bilateral exchange of students between universities. Someschools also offer global engineering courses that emphasize historical and cultural themes,sometimes through engagement with guest speakers.3 Service projects with global dimensionsare another prevalent program format. These program options vary according to factors such asduration, language requirements, context of work, extent of interactions with natives of the hostcountry, and

Key components of the program from the beginning were specialized languagecourses that included instruction in technical German and a six-month professional internshipwith an engineering company in one of the German-speaking countries.1 In 1995 an optionalsemester of study at URI's partner university, the Technische Universität Braunschweig, wasadded. The German undergraduate exchange was eventually expanded to include graduateprograms in

Examples of project topics include "Energy Efficient Street Lighting”,“Bicycle-Powered Electrical Generating System”, “Bicycle for Long Distance Ride”, and“Bio-Mass Fuel to Run a Scooter/Automobile”.Some of the goals of the international design collaboration project include developingcommunication skills in students, and exposing students to other cultures. The intention is torespond to increased demand for graduates that are familiar with engineering and design methodsused in other countries. Recognizing that globalization may be the dominant paradigm inmanufacturing for at least the next generation, technical universities are encouraged

As a result, iPodia enhances students' ability and skills toexplore cultural diversity as an inspiration for global engineering innovation, whilesimultaneously enlarging their personal networks to become future global engineering leaders.2. What is iPodia?2.1 Pedagogical approachThe iPodia pedagogy is developed based on three basic hypotheses, as illustrated in Figure 1,that (1) contextual understanding is best achieved via direct engagements, hence the "inverted"learning; (2) what you learn depends on with whom you learn, hence the "interactive" learning;and (3

One of these investigations exploresthe interactions between variables that affect a student’s capacity to learn.
